Verdict

The Tecno Boom J7 is the first smartphone from Tecno Mobile for buyers in pursuit of high-fidelity sound playback.

This is a market whose needs were largely fulfilled by high-end devices that only a fraction of buyers in a developing Smartphone market such as Kenya can afford.

It is commendable that Tecno Mobile is keeping the innovative spirit alive through the introduction of Smartphones that most can afford to purchase.

The Tecno Boom J7 may not be the best Smartphone for an Audiophile, but it does a good job of fulfilling the Audio Quest for buyers on a budget.
